VLM data autoresearch · visual studies

Three header
directions.

The same experiment lineage, treated as an article image rather than an explanatory chart. These are deliberately wider, quieter, and less literal than the full interactive map.

Animated once · actual run lineage

01

Branch field

Most editorial and closest to the existing article. The title holds the left side; the experiment tree becomes a sparse visual field.

VLM DATA AUTORESEARCH / 20 RUNS / AUGUST 2026 One baseline. Nineteen branches. An autonomous search through data mixture, order, repetition, selection, and new sources. THE SHAPE OF THE SEARCH 01 / 03 White editorial
02

Night stream

More like a feature image than a diagram. The branches become a colored current behind the title, with run numbers acting as texture.

19 AUTONOMOUS DATA SEARCH / VISUAL LANGUAGE MODELS Nineteen bets on the data. What happens when an agent chooses the next training mixture itself? ONE BASELINE → NINETEEN EXPERIMENTS Dark feature
03

Research ledger

A warmer, more literary treatment. The lineage reads like notes accumulating in a lab book, with the experiment names as the image material.
